In 2001 I was paralyzed following a car accident that caused me spinal cord injury. I’m now a paraplegic, which means I am paralyzed from the waist down.

After watching the TV show called “Push Girls” http://www.sundancechannel.com/push-girls/ where there are 4 girls paralyzed by spinal cord injury, I have asked myself if I identify myself with them, but the answer I gave to myself was NO.

I live an “active” life like them, but the big difference is that I also spend much time doing my best to SUPPORT MEDICAL RESEARCH TO FIND A CURE THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO WALK AGAIN AND TO LIVE A REALLY INDEPENDENT LIFE.

I am not a “Push Girl”; I am a “CURE GIRL”!

LIVING LIFE WITH PARALYSIS IS NOT FUN as it seems watching the Push Girls. LIVING LIFE PARALYZED IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION OF LIFE FOR ME AND TO FIGHT FOR A CURE IT SEEMS TO ME JUST THE MOST OBVIOUS REACTION.

I am in contact with other girls in my situation that share my attitude toward paralysis, WE DON’T ACCEPT PARALYSIS, WE FIGHT FOR A CURE, so I decided to start this blog and call it “CURE GIRLS“.

I hope that with this blog I will give more visibility at what we do to fight for a cure for chronic spinal cord injury.

If you think you are a CURE GIRL or if you know a CURE GIRL, please write me and tell me about your story at curegirls@gmail.com

Our core message is: CHRONIC SPINAL CORD INJURY MUST BECOME CURABLE!
